Graduate by Hilton Evanston

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a beautiful historic building with a wonderful staff. It’s a pleasure to stay there and I will be going back."

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, near restaurants and the university. friendly and helpful staff."

Hampton Inn Chicago North-Loyola Station

10/10 Excellent

"Thanks! staff is great. Always a good experience with this location."

Heart O' Chicago

8/10 Good

"I love this place. First stayed in 1980 when looking at colleges, with my parents. Returned in the 90s for Pride and Market Days, with friends. I've also seen an ugly side here with prostitution, drugs, and violence. I keep coming back cuz it's affordable and has parking, in the middle of where I want to be. Upgrades from my last stay. Modern key cards, better TV, and even a meager breakfast and coffee. A genuine mid century architectural gem that is surprisingly intact. Ripe to become a boutique hotel. I hope I can afford it then."
